[QUOTE=Superpeer]O noes, it seems everyone lost their stars. Except for me.[/QUOTE]

Well I shall take my shock in losing my beloved stars and watch a programme about Nirvana's Nevermind.

'Night all

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]Wow, what just happened here?[/QUOTE]
They got rid of rep, brought it back, and now I don't know.

And we have the search function back.

[QUOTE=Burdcheese]You should add Facelift and S/T then. Both fantastic albums on par with Dirt.[/QUOTE]

Well, I've added the albums that have the highest ratings on various sites. But, who knows, eventually, I might buy them.

Dirt is very good, that's all I know.

[QUOTE=Efilnikufesin]So, who can rep?[/QUOTE]
Only mods can, and those with stars. Nobody but mods have stars yet, so it's a matter of time.

[QUOTE=zeppelinfan2k3]Mods can rep, or no?[/QUOTE]

Word.

I can still rep. Woah, I feel mighty.

All 12,000 points, gone! Nooooo!

EDIT: Please tell me that the Mal-negging-spree contributed to this change.

rep++ oh..wait :p

/thinks about his contributions to the forum
/realizes he will never have stars again
/cries in corner
/can't close thread anymore with size 7 neg rep announcements :(:(:(
/lost 20918 or so rep

Crap, I have no rep left either, over 28,000 rep points... Gone. :(

Wait, so if mod's have 0 rep as well, how is anyone going to get rep?

/lost 6222 rep. :(

Jelle, change the name of this thread to "Emo whiners bemoan loss of stars". :D

/lost 17.6 k rep

I think this is a much better system though, and will certainly weed out users that don't deserve stars. It will also maybe encourage better threads and/or posts at least as well. (as in threads with more info, and posts with more substance to them and such)

And get Dfelon on my back? :mad:

I'm the only emo here jerkface!

Now rep is dead. Toldjaso.

Uh oh.. Emo whiners backlash! Run!

I don't think [I]anyone[/I] will be able to rep.

Hey, at least we got the search back.

The people I feel really sorry for are the poor noobs who have never known anything but rep. How can they adapt to society as a whole?

Originally, the only way to get stars really was mod rep, and I was one of the first to get them...it kinda makes me realize what a bad user I have become.

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]16774 for me. :(

Ah well. Hey sorrai sorrai...[/QUOTE]

34,000 gone for me.

I think even the most sensible of star users abused the rep system on occasion.

I used to abuse the old rep system a lot, but when Bobo told everyone to cut it out, I realized how bad it was getting. Now it's back to the way it should be, you can only get stars from a mod rep.

7338 gone. Kind of pathetic anyway next to you folks.

This change is really good though, I think. Especially with the requirements that are put into place (postcount, etc.) It's kind of a shock to not see the stars anymore, though. It's cool that only people deemed responsible by the mods, etc. will get stars. Mods should also have the power to take them away if a user gets corrupted by them.

EDIT: To Riva: this is true. I am guilty of both begging and giving away based on popularity rather than posts.

That sort of depends on whether or not I was ever considered a "sensible star user" in the first place, though. :-/

I remember that all 3 of the R&M mods repped me at some point or another. 'Tender even did it more than once. I also got a Zakath rep back when 12,000 was a godly ammount.


I abused from time to time, but not as badly as some. I had at least 5,000 worth of real rep in there.

14,000 = gone.

They should just make it so only mods can rep. Then stars would only go to the truly deserving.

/probably wouldn't get stars

See you all in a bit. I've got a few phone calls to make.

[QUOTE=metal guitar]They have made it so only mods can rep.[/QUOTE]

Awesome! I'll have to be good now.

5095 gone. I view it as a good thing. Less stupid threads where people bitch about getting neg repped for 'no good reason'. It makes 'so whats your rep' threads pretty pointless, because most users will be at 0 forever, If I'm not mistaken. Rep dosn't mean anything anyway. Sure, 3 or 4 stars under your name, otherwise you get nothing. This truely is a wise move.
